So...


...I'm sitting here, burning CDs, perfectly content and justified in my illegal and (arguably) immoral activity.

And yet, spaghetti calls...so I must leave. More later.

And so I return.

Anyway, I'm currently giving Tori Amos' Little Earthquakes a listen. While familiar with some of the songs (Crucify, Silent All These Years, Winter), I've never gotten around to listening to the entire album and when I decide it's time to buy CDs, I tend to purchase things that spawn a more immediate interest. Things that I might not find/hear again if I don't get them right that very moment. Tori's also one of those artists who, every time I looked up, had another album out, so I sort of let them slide and figured, "I'll get 'em at some point."

So, now, I've burned 'em all. I tell myself that this doesn't necessarily preclude me buying them later, but, knowing the way I buy music, who knows? On the brighter side, it's possible. I do like having the trappings of albums; the cover art, the lyric sheets, the funky pictures, even the designs on the CD's. Also, I know that a few of them are available at Rockaway used for around seven bucks. So, it's possible. On the other hand, I'm lazy, I know my friends have CD's that I like and would be more than willing to lend me, and there's always something new and sweet around the corner....like the Forever Knight soundtracks that I found at Rockaway. I'm weird, I know.

Anyway, for those keeping score at home, I started writing the post-spaghetti part of this entry with Precious Things (took me 3 tracks to do email) and I'm singing out now as Mother begins. So far, I'm diggin' it all. I'm certain that I probably won't 'get it' to the degree that some of y'all do, but I am enjoying it...
